That National Convention was an ideal place to alienate your friends and confirm your enemies. The fellow who didn't do this was shrewd enough to keep in the background The "prof." who will excuse a student a whole month to practice for a foot ball game and not a single recitation to pre pare for the preliminary debates may get to Heaven, but he will never do so with the con sent of the Hesperian There are no students who fail to regret the resignation of Prof. Fred V. Card, as head of the Horticultural department, and Miss Mabel Tuttlo, as executive clerk. Both have nrt merely been able and conscientious work ers in their respective positions, but both have been considered as among the students' friends Prof. Card has accepted a position in a Rhode Island institution as head of tho College of Mechanic Arts and Agriculture. Miss Tuttle has a position on the editorial staff of tho "North-Western Monthly." The best wishes of tho student body go with them in their new and larger fields of labor. Ciiartkr Day. Since the last issue of tho ILkspkriax, tho University has passed its twenty-ninth milestone. The event was fit tingly celebrated in accordance with the cus toms that have grown up around our Charter Day. The Electrical Engineers, on Monday evening exhibited the latest inventions in their department; on Tuesday as usual, the buildings and departments were thrown open to the public, and in the evening a large aud ience at the Oliver listened to a vigorous de fense of State Universities by President Draper. Twenty-nine years in the life of a Univer sity, is a very short period. But time is measured by the happening of events rather than by the llux of days, and when events rapidly crowd upon each other and tread up on each other's heels, much history is com pressed into a brief space of time. It so with the West generally and with our University in particular. In years ours is among tho youngest of tho great Universities; but in cap abilities and achievements it it not far behind the foremost. It is a matter of congratula tion to all its friends that as our University is about to enter upon its fourth decade it a ready to take its place beside universities that are entering upon their fourth century. Review ofUnivorMity ResrimenL. The review of the University regiment by the Governor has come to be one of the events of the Charter day exercises, and considering tho lack of outside drill and tho adverse cir cumstances which the regiment has exper ienced in reorganizing and getting down to work this year, the drill was very creditable to the department. Soon after the sounding of the bugle at 1:55 p. m. on Charter day, the two battalions formed on the campus be tween the chemical building and tho library. Those winning individual prizes at competi tive drill last spring were then escorted to the stand on the east side of the parade grounds, by Company B under command of Captain Chas. Hendy, where the Governor with a few appropriate words presented tho medals.
